About this listen

Em has lived a quiet life with her complicated mother and is now looking for love and a potential escape from her small hometown. When a masked man kidnaps her in the dark of night, though, she is drawn into a terrifying world.

Jodie has been trying to forget a troubling time in her life, pouring her trauma into her work and out of her mind. Until one night her daughter is kidnapped and Jodie is dragged back into the violence.

As Em and Jodie race into the darkness, the agony of the past rushes up to meet them. It will take all their devotion and courage to escape this night alive.

Bold, vivid and heart-racingly intense, The Long Night is the darkest and most exhilarating novel yet from bestselling author Christian White.

Thought I was enjoying it until almost the end when I discovered there were two timelines… possibly on me, but I feel it could have been made clearer. The narrator was great but the wrong choice for this story (personal preference I guess but didn’t seem to be a good fit and took me out of the story for the first half). Not my favourite CW.

Christian White just does not miss. Another heart pounding addition to his already impressive library of work. His writing is just so visceral, only made more intense by a captivating narration from Raechyl.

He’s done it again

I really enjoy Christian White’s writing style - characters telling different perspectives and you have to work out how their paths intersect. I think The Long Night is my favourite so far, I listened intently wanting to know what came next. The narrator was very good too.

Excellent

I am a big Christian White fan & have loved all his books so far. However this one was unfortunately tedious & annoying to listen to. I didn’t enjoy the lengthy & repetitive descriptions of violence, blood & guts, so found myself skipping ahead frequently. Although I managed to listen till the very end, knowing there would be a clever plot twist (& it was indeed clever) I was glad to when it was over. Lighten up next time please Christian! I’ll be waiting.

Not his best work
